March 1, 2012, Commack, NY -Tamron USA, Inc. announced that it has won Professional Photographer magazine's Hot One Award for its 18-270mm Di II VC PZD (Model B008), the world's smallest and lightest 15x zoom lens, for the Telephoto Zoom Lens category.

The Tamron all-in-one 15X zoom lens produces high-quality images and is remarkably compact and lightweight even while incorporating Tamron's new Piezo Drive (PZD) autofocus drive system and a Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization mechanism that is even more compact than that used in the previous model B003.
